Saturday was another hike with a personal request for Trevor to not fall on any snakes.



Muskrat. They were everywhere!




Snapping turtle burying in the mud after laying its eggs in the forest.



Eastern red slider turtle taking a swim.




Trevor did not fall on this one.








We hit Huntley Meadows. The kids saw just about all one could see - it was pretty awesome. They found a ribbon snake in a tree, saw muskrats right by the boardwalk, watched a turtle walk through the woods and bury itself in some mud, found egrets, snapping turtles, more snakes, frogs, toads, etc. We got behind a tour group. Once they figured out how quiet and good my kids are they begged them to stay with the group because they really can find just about everything with their eagle eyes! They were very impressed as Heather explained to the tour group what each thing they found was. Quite comical.
